MAX3362EKA#G15

Overview

The MAX3362EKA#G15 is a low-power, high-speed RS-485/RS-422 transceiver operating from a single +3.3V supply. It contains one differential line driver and receiver supporting data rates up to 20Mbps with output skew under 6ns. The device features a 1/8-unit-load receiver input impedance, allowing up to 256 transceivers on the bus. It operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C in an 8-pin SOT package.

Feature Summary

• Hot-swap capability prevents false transitions during circuit initialization
• Low-power shutdown mode reduces supply current to 1µA
• Integrated thermal shutdown and short-circuit current limiting for protection

Applications

• Multidrop clock/data distribution
• Telecom equipment
• Security equipment
• Point-of-sale equipment
• Industrial controls

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '#G15' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm exact RoHS compliance status and packaging details. Confirm availability as this part number may be subject to discontinuation or replacement by newer variants within the MAX3362 family.

Selection Notes

Select this component for half-duplex communication systems requiring high-speed data transfer up to 20Mbps. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified -40°C to +85°C temperature range. Verify that the system power supply remains stable at +3.3V ±5% to maintain guaranteed electrical performance.
